Unlike in the US, Canada, Thailand, Greece, and Spain, peaceful protesters have not been beaten, tear gassed, water cannoned, and tasered by Ukrainian police. Unlike in Egypt, Palestine, and Bahrain, Ukrainian protesters have not been fired upon with live ammunition. The restraint of the Ukrainian government and police in the face of provocations has been remarkable. Apparently, Ukrainian police have not been militarized by US Homeland Security...

America could barely afford the $$ cost of global containment of Russian and Chinese spheres of influence when Washington had the money to do it. It can't do this anymore -- no matter how much "quantitative easing" the US Federal Reserve, Japan's, the EU, and other European central banks can muster to back up US foreign policy.

Nor can we expect the peoples of countries who had to suffer through decades of authoritarian and banana republican autocrats just to stand up for US foreign policy to keep accepting the austere national budgets they'll be suffering through for the next several years.

Exclusive: Any propaganda war starts by planting stories that your target is getting rich, whether he is or isnít, the latest move in demonizing Vladimir Putin. But the larger question is what might happen if the neocons succeed in destabilizing nuclear-armed Russia, asks Robert Parry.

Well if you believe in a free market then you should be pissed about any and all of this.

The truth is the markets are rigged and manipulated -- and have been for a long time.

But the manipulation of gold is illegal. The SEC is authorized to hold those guilty responsible but as we know thanks to a recent whistleblower, the SEC officials played along with rampant illegality in order to garner high paying jobs with Goldman after leaving government service.

In other words, the regulators are hopelessly corrupt and this agrees with everything else we have learned about the SEC. For example, we know they buried the evidence of insider trading in the days before 9/11.

That evidence -- among other evidence -- proves that 9/11 was an inside job. But patriots like you are too confused to add two plus two -- and so are left to escape into fantasy whenever reality threatens to expose your deep denial. MHG

There ya go, it's all come full circle. Gold manipulation and 911 are all one big conspiracy.
